  The server *does* include extensive documentation.  See the "doc"

because it's nicely formatted, and the server does a *lot* less than
FreeRADIUS.

  Do you have *specific* questions that are not answered by the comments
in the "huntgroups" file?

  FreeRADIUS supports all common authentication protocols.
